The family Idol from Alcatel is possibly the most well-known of the French manufacturer (in the hands of TCL) as the smartphones are concerned, and that is that this range is the responsible of their phones of higher specs. These phones will get packed within the segment medium-high with a few specifications that we solve easily most of the tasks.
The last mobile known of this family is the Alcatel Idol 4, a mid-range that came to be sold along with some virtual reality goggles. However, and in the quietest way, has appeared the Alcatel Idol 5S, whose technical specifications do not stray too far from its previous generation and brings small changes in the design.
Design almost traced to its previous-generation specifications and mid-range-high
If we focus on the physical aspect, we can see that is very similar to the Alcatel Idol 4, with a rear calcada where the only difference is in the presence of a fingerprint reader. In the front we see that it retains the same mark, although the grids of both speakers (the two are located in the front) are different.
The other difference we can find is in the on / off button, which on this occasion is elongated with a texture somewhat rough, while in the previous model it was round. There are No significant differences, still retaining an attractive appearance at first sight.
In terms of specifications is also not very far from its predecessor. The screen is of 5.2 inches with resolution FullHD, the processor is a Snapdragon 625 2 GHz, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage that can be expanded with microSD cards of up to 512 GB of capacity.
